welcome to the programme. broadcasting to the viewers in the uk and around the world. in greece, it is now believed up to 100 children were on board a vessel that capsized off the southern coast. almost 80 people have been confirmed dead, but that final toll could make it one of europe's�*s worst disasters ever. the boat heading from libya capsized 80 kilometres from the coastal town of pilos. the survivors are being processed in the port of kalamata. nine suspected people smugglers have been arrested. ., , people smugglers have been arrested. . , ,., arrested. there have been some rotest arrested. there have been some protest against _ arrested. there have been some protest against the _ protest against the government's handling of this, but the hardline has been

popular over the past couple of years, but clearly there is any human impacts to it. the coastguard is maintaining that when they offered help to the migrants, that help was rejected but lots of people are saying if you can see a boat is so overcrowded and in such deep waters, there is a moral obligation to intervene. relatives of the hundreds lost at sea rushed to this port city fearing the worst. we found aftab from wolverhampton searching for news about his cousins from pakistan. my relatives were on board the boat that capsized. how do you know that? we've had confirmation. we've found one of the relatives — he's in there, but the rest of them we haven't got hold of yet. how many relatives? four of them. the victims of greece's worst ever migrant ship wreck had set off from libya. many syrians were on board, kazim abu zeeb told me, including his wife.

translation: how would i feel? i have lost my wife now. i don't know where she is. it's my wife. 21—year—old izra had been unable to find a legal route tojoin her husband in germany. this evening we went to meet dr makaris. he treated 30 of the survivors, who told him dozens of children had been on board. they told us that there were children in the bottom of the ship, children and women. one of them told me about 100 children. the other told me about 50. lots of children? lots of children. hanging over this tragedy is one simple question —

should the greek authorities have done more to save those on board? the coastguard says the migrants didn't want their help — a claim that's been challenged. so we've been trying to piece together exactly what happened in this disaster that seemed to unfold in slow motion. at around 8am on tuesday, the greek authorities are first informed about the fishing vessel. the coastguard has first contact at 11am and claims it doesn't request assistance. a little later an emergency helpline for migrants in trouble at sea receives multiple distress calls, including one at 3:20pm saying the captain has left the vessel. the migrant boat has no publicly available tracking data but bbc verify has used a ship monitoring website to follow the movements of boats in the area that offered assistance. at 3pm, greece sends a nearby commercial vessel, the lucky sailor, to the migrant boat, supplying it

with food and water. tuesday evening, a coastguard vessel sails near the fishing boat and from a distance apparently concludes there was no problem with its navigation. but less than four hours later the migrant boat overturns and sinks. the greek authorities, as well as fending off criticism, have been making arrests — up to a dozen. but who was really to blame for such a huge loss of life is being fiercely debated. nick beake, bbc news, in southern greece. at least 15 people have died after a very serious crash in the canadian province of manitoba. the accident involved a semi—trailer truck and a small bus transporting people with disabilities. there were about 25 passengers, mainly seniors, onboard.

police say both drivers are alive, but at this stage they can't say who or what caused the crash. emergency crews and air ambulances have responded to the incident. this is one of the most lethal road accidents in recent canadian history. authorities confirmed they were responding to large numbers of victims and that all facilities were on alert. todayis today is a tragic day when lies have been lost in manitoba on a large—scale. we understand the public is reeling, asking lots of questions and people are trying to determine if their loved ones were involved. firstly, our hearts go back to everyone involved and is horrible, horrible incident. i'm here to tell you what i can about the collision today, however this is an unfolding event and our facts will be very limited. i know everybody wants answers in the public deserves those answers. our responsibility as the rcmp is to provide the public with

information, but accurate information, but accurate information, which can take time in an event such as this. an additional update will be provided as the investigation progresses and those answers will come. at 1115 this morning the rcmp were dispatched to a motor vehicle collision at the intersection of highway one and highway five in manitoba. a semitrailer was heading eastbound on highway one and a bus carrying a number of senior citizens was headed southbound on highway five. the bus had already crossed the westbound lanes of highway one and was crossing the eastbound lanes when it was struck by the semi. immediately, it became apparent that this was a mass casualty situation. numerous rcmp �*s word deployed from across the

we put our findings to the north korean government, and the information collected is not entirely factual and it is derived from fabricated testimonies from forces who are against the democratic people's republic of korea. it has always prioritised "the interests of the people even at difficult times, "and has an unwavering commitment to the well—being "of the people". it's one of the world's most powerful tech firms and makes more than half of its globes apple products but taiwan's foxconis apple products but taiwan's foxcon is now at a critical juncture, looking for the next big thing to help chart its growth. caught between the us and china. in an exclusive interview with the company's chairman, he told the bbc how foxconis chairman, he told the bbc how foxcon is faring with the increased tensions between the two superpowers. the future of our technology

products being created on this factory floor. this factory is run by foxcon, a company that is truly a global player. it makes things that we take for granted in our daily life, the parts that keep your smart phone and laptop going. by its own admission, foxcon likes to keep a low profile, but even if you have not heard of the company itself, you probably would have seen one of these, the iphone. each iphone contains hundreds of components, and foxcon makes around 60% of them. from things like the camera module to the connectors in the device and even the back of the phone. foxcon's has built its porch and manufacturing in china and taiwan, providing the essentials for modern life in the west and it is now breaking into the electric vehicle market, but tensions between the us and china over taiwan could mean there is not a clear road ahead for foxcon. their production lines and access to the technology could be under

bbc news website. you're live with bbc news. we start in the uk where the conservative party is bitterly divided after the former prime minister boris johnson was found to have misled parliament. a damning report by senior mps concluded he deliberately misled the house of commons about lockdown parties at downing street. they say he would have been suspended if he hadn't already quit, but mrjohnson has described the report as rubbish and deranged. the findings must now be voted on, ensuring more recriminations. our political editor chris mason reports. so many chapters of boris johnson's life have his relationship with the truth running straight through them. today, the latest chapter — a committee of his peers

throwing the book at him. was he honest about what went on in downing street, during the very covid restrictions he'd imposed on the rest of us? all guidance was followed completely during number 10. really? there was no party, and that no covid rules were broken. a senior civil servant, sue gray, investigated. so, too, the police. today, another page turns. the conclusion — devastating for mrjohnson. let's be blunt, this report concludes that he lied. it says he deliberately misled mps, he deliberately misled the committee, he breached their confidence by saying out loud what was in their report before they did, and that he was complicit in a campaign of abuse and attempted intimidation of the committee. look at what else the committee had to say. it takes aim at "the frequency with which he closed "his mind to the truth".

and it said some of mrjohnson's "denials and explanations were so disingenuous" that they were "deliberate attempts to mislead". reporter: is this - the end, mrjohnson? we're shouting at borisjohnson because he said no to an interview. he put out a written statement instead, claiming the report is "rubbish, a lie, deranged, absurd and complete tripe". have you run out of road? and, he said... you've been there and seen it with your own eyes. harriet harman is the labour mp who chaired this investigation. he claims she was prejudiced against him from the outset, given things she had

previously said. the report says its members were informed by the facts. jacob rees—mogg was knighted by borisjohnson, jacob rees—mogg was knighted by borisjohnson, and served in his cabinet. what did he make of the report? well, i think it's over—baked. that i think they want to find the worst at every possible opportunity, and i think it shows a degree of vindictiveness that does not work to the committee's favour or advantage. is this the end for borisjohnson? no way back from this, is there? oh, there's easily a way back, because the great virtue of our system is that parliament can chuck you out, it can chuck you out again and it can suspend you, but if your voters send you back, back you come. today's report came out at 9am, but the prime minister managed to find himself in front of the cameras earlier than that... ..wanting to look like he's getting on with thejob, on an immigration raid in west london. you're talking about a report that i haven't seen and no—one else has seen. it wouldn't be right to comment on it in advance of it coming out and being published.

so he didn't fancy saying very much, but little tongue—tie from the opposition parties today. borisjohnson is not only a lawbreaker, but a liar. | he's not fit for public office, and he's disgraced himself. and continues to act - like a poundshop trump in the way in which he tries to discredit anybody who criticises his actions. _ he's built his entire career as a politician on being very shady with the truth, and what the committee has found is that he purposely lied to parliament as prime minister. today, the final page turns on the former prime minister, covid rule—breaking and the truth. the big question is whether the book is now closed for good on boris johnson. let's ta ke let's take a look at some other stories and headlines. a cyclone battering parts of north—west india in southern pakistan could be the area's worst storm in 25 years. more

than 175,000 people were moved to safety before the arrival of the cyclone. storm has been weakening as it moves north on friday. us defence secretary lloyd austin has announced new funding and support for ukraine from nato countries during a two—day meeting of defences ministers in brussels. they are also expected to agree a timetable to train ukrainian pilots to fly western jets, including f—i6s. but there are still no decisions on whether ukraine will actually be provided with the jets. the un secretary general antonio guterres has warned that the world is racing toward a climate change disaster, and dismisses the global response as "woefully inadequate". he says current climate policies will lead to average temperatures 2.8 degrees celsius above pre—industrial times by the end of the century — nearly twice the un goal of a 1.5 degree rise.

newsday. i am monica miller. goodbye for now. hello, there. the last day of the working week promises to be another largely fine, dry and settled one for most of us, but we are looking at some changes taking place to our weather, all because of this area of low pressure, sitting out in the atlantic, very slowly edging towards our shores. it's going to continue to destabilise the atmosphere across western areas, so, through the morning, we'll see a bit of cloud here, certainly across the southwest, cornwall and devon, into wales, northern ireland, some western parts of england could start to see some showers developing. some of these could be heavy and thundery, but the vast majority of scotland, central and eastern england are the dry, sunny one. warmer along the east coast, along north sea coasts, and we could be up to

around 27 or 28 degrees. as we head through friday night, it looks like those showers, thunderstorms, trundle their way northwards into southern and western scotland. further showers pushing into wales and the southwest, but central and eastern areas once again staying dry, and a mild night to come, certainly across the west. some chillier spots in the clear skies in the east. the weekend, then, looks a bit more unsettled. we'll see increasing chance of showers, even longer spells of rain on sunday. and for most of us, it's still going to feel quite warm, but not as warm as it has done. so, for saturday, then, a bit more cloud around, generally, but again, lots of sunshine central and eastern scotland, central and eastern england. most of the showers will tend to be across the south and the west, and again, some of them could be heavy and thundery. temperatures reaching highs around 25 degrees, a little bit lower out west, because of more breeze, and certainly more cloud and showers. and certainly more cloud and showers, and as we move into sunday, it looks like this weather front will push across the country, bringing areas of thundery rain and further showers. so, initially, it'll start

dry, with some sunshine in central and northern areas. but these showers and longer spells of thundery rain across england and wales, northern ireland, will start to migrate their way northwards into central and southern scotland later scotland later in the day on sunday. in the day on sunday. so, because of this, temperatures won't be quite so, because of this, temperatures won't be quite as high — still above the seasonal norm, but we're generally into the low—to—mid 20s. and then, beyond sunday, into next week, it looks like low pressure will stick close by to the west of the uk, constantly bringing a feed of showers, but there will be some sunny spells in between. best of that sunshine will tend to be across southern and eastern areas, where, once again, it'll turn quite warm. but further north and west, temperatures will be a bit closer to the seasonal norm. take care.
